Yeah, every time I listen to this album I'm reminded there's not a single weak track on it. Just brilliant.

I've been thinking about some of these but can't come up with good ones. Either you have albums with amazing songs on them but the several clearly best aren't anywhere near each other or a weaker one is in between each stretch (finding this a lot with the Beatles) or you have something like Pet Sounds where just about any stretch of three songs could substitute for another with no real dropoff.

Blonde on Blonde has some great stretches like this; aside from what was already mentioned, I'd suggest

6)(Stuck Inside of Mobile with the) Memphis Blues Again
7)Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat
8)Just Like a Woman

in fact, that may be my pick, and it doesn't even include my favorite song on the album.

I think you're right, actually...I built my 234 BoB pick around Visions of Johanna, my favorite song on the album. 678 is really hot.

I was trying to do the same thing, since "Visions of Johanna" is one of my favorite songs of all time, anywhere, of any kind. But all the way through, the 6-7-8 block is better.

Good call, but I was think:

Aquemini:

Rosa Parks
Skew it on the Bar-B
Aquemini

is a better line-up.
